The "-m" command line parameter, for "Monochrome", puts the game into 640x200 monochrome mode and gives The Anarchic Kingdom an effective "Dark Mode" feature for those who don't like the white background. Get the game from dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/64... #anarchickingdom #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Due to health issues playing up, there won't be a stream tonight. But instead, you can watch this video review of Star Cadre: Combat Class by Sparcie on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4yi...

The Expanse started as a MMO project, then a tabletop role-playing game, before becoming these great novels & TV series. Author Ty Franck: "I really wanted a version of EVE [Online], or something like EVE, where you could actually get off of your ship and have adventures on the ground."

The stream is on! Today I'll be playing Barren Planet, trying to get through as much of the Polar Expedition campaign as I can. Come to twitch.tv/cyningstan to watch Avuscorp beat my Nuvutech forces to a pulp (or, hopefully, vice versa). #barrenplanet #ibmpc #msdos #cga
